Quick Trip with the Family

Went up with the family and very good friends up to Estes Park last Sunday and Monday. The weather was so-so with drizzle on Sunday but the most beautiful late Fall weather in the mountains.

I was able so squeeze maybe 45 mins to an hour of fishing downtown Estes Park behind the shops on the main drag. This is just after the Big Thompson merges with Fall River. It's really a cute piece of river, tucked away and out of sight. After doing some reconnaissance on Sunday I went back with my Iwana and a size 16 Yellow Sally Ishigaki

and a size 20 mercury RS2 dropper.

Landed 5 or 6 trout with some more hookups on both the Ishigaka and the RS2, the nicest one was this brown trout.

Thanks Terry. I was pretty excited to start catching fish on traditional tenkara flies (well, modified to somewhat match the hatch). Heading out tomorrow for some more fishing with my Amago on the hunt for bigger fish. Should be an interesting outing and then new post here. Tight Lines!

Who....?

My home is currently London where I moved to in 2015 from Denver, Colorado, where I started fishing tenkara in 2010. I grew up in Switzerland, then spent a few years in Vienna/Austria and moved then to the New York City area where I met my wife. I learned fly fishing in 1998 in the Austrian Alps while living Vienna/Austria.
